Lochiel Agrikids

Norah Thomson —

On Friday morning our three Agrikids teams, "Giggling Goats", "Hopping Hoggets" and "Milking Masters" were put to the test with online modules.

The modules consisted of bike safety, NZ Birds, a memory game, answering a question about the matching pair, naming breeds of animals and farm safety.

Over the past 4 months we have focused on team building, farming activities such as putting up electric fences, piecing together a hand piece and a set of milking cups, looking at different soil types, building a gate, animal breeds, building a tool box, duck shooting with nerf guns, New Zealand geography and a farming/general knowledge quiz. The students have all worked hard at preparing for the Southland/Otago Regional final and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
